If you are unable to be home the day of delivery, then pick-up at the carrier's local terminal may be necessary. Appointment deliveries or time window deliveries are usually not available. Some UPS/FedEx shipments are partially disassembled to reach carrier carton size limits. Orders for large quantities of smaller items such as chairs are often shipped via truck.

Please note that, like any retailer or distributor shipping nationwide, Modern Office ships via national and regional parcel, freight and moving companies. Modern Office will not accept returns or cancellations due to delays in delivery by transportation companies. Although we use the largest and most well-known carriers, we are not responsible for delays in transit, freight company employee conduct, missed delivery appointments or damages to the customer's premises. Cancellations after shipment are not accepted. Please be sure to note any damage or shortage on the delivery receipt before signing for a shipment. Remember, title of goods passes to the purchaser when a shipment is accepted for transportation by the carrier. When you sign for a shipment, you are indicating that all cartons shown on the receipt are present and in good condition. If this is not true, be sure to note the discrepancy and have the driver initial it. For large items or items shipped assembled, open all cartons immediately while the driver is present. Do not delay -- time is of the essence. Do not discard the cartons until you know the contents are in good condition. Please report the damage to us immediately if the item is an assembled piece or if the damage involves a part that can't be replaced. We are unable to provide large parts or replacements free of charge if the damage has not been noted by you or the driver on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-443-5117.
